As a concerned citizen of Lumberton, I blog about what is taking place in this city. Through this blog, I hope to inspire real leadership in those serving at City Hall. I believe that those elected to serve us should surround themselves with the most talented people and the the best ideas to develop Lumberton's immense potential. I will bolg with respect and work to nurture a network of new activism from within and outside city government.
When residents go to an elected official for help, they are seeking respect and efficient service. And when city employees go to work, they want and deserve leadership that inpsires personal and professional development that actively engages them in making Lumberton better. It is easy to place the burden of accountability on the individuals on the frontlines--in the offices and at the counters. I beleive that many of municiple employees work hard to do an excellent job for our city, but there are also those that are willing to get by on being average. Whatever the case may be, our elected leaders need to set a better example of commitment and respect for others to follow.
I am aware that I can be self-centered, arrogant, impatient, hot-tempered,and a little needy, but I can also be kind, loving, generous to a fault, and the best friend in the world. It is my belief that if you are not willing to deal with me at my worst moments, then you do not deserve my best.

According to Facebook, the regularly scheduled monthly meeting for March was supposed to be one of the most anticipated meetings since getting elected as an Alderman but that was not the case. There were several news outlets there so the narrative they're establishing for the City of Lumberton will probably continue for the rest of the week or until the next scandal. Hopefully, they's no more scandals for a long time but time will tell. Every seat was filled sans two seats on the front row, but a lot was covered and discovered during the March meeting. Here's a recap of some of the matters discussed and voted on at last night's meeting: The Day in the Park at 5th Avenue was approved. Elaine Robinson spoke and invited everyone to participate and donate towards the event. She said there will be an Easter egg hunt, food and fun for everyone from every community. Alderwoman at Large, Tina Speights, asked the board members to rent port-a-potties for the event sin…

One week ago, the City of Lumberton became the subject of the viral news because of a video that surfaced, featuring Chief Shane Flynt. WDAM sent their overzealous reporter to Lumberton after they received the video from a person they would only describe as a WDAM viewer. Surprisingly, when they arrived in Lumberton early Tuesday morning, Mayor Rogers was conveniently at City Hall. When I was out of town at the time, but I received calls saying WDAM was at City Hall and they were talking to the Mayor. Before they could go into any details, I quickly glanced at the time and said "the Mayor is at city hall this early?" At that point, I knew the reason WDAM was in Lumberton was not going to be good because it's very rare for Mayor Rogers to darken the doors of City Hall before noon. Before I could make it back to Lumberton, I received a call from an telephone number I didn't recognize and it was Mike McDaniel from WDAM. He wanted to know if I wanted to g…

I just got home from the board meeting. There was a chilly reception from my fellow board member but that generally happens when people are discussing you when you're not present. All I got to say is politics make strange bed fellows.

The Lumberton Informer is a blog that offers an in depth look at the political climate in the City of Lumberton, MS as well as provide social commentary on issues affecting communities across the nation. My mission is to provide a lively and interactive forum where all members of the community can come together for the greater good of our city, state and country. Disclaimer: The views expressed in this blog are solely those of the author in his private capacity and in no way reflects or represent the views of any elected officials or public servants. We live in a litigious society and as a result, there is this murky intersection between policy and practice, micro and macro, and urban and rural that I hope my blogging can spur discussion on. Because at the end of the day, a frank and open discussion is what’s most needed. I hope to be a part of this with all of you.
